Blot the stain immediately with a clean cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible before it sets.
Use a carpet cleaner like Vanish or Cif, following the instructions on the label to avoid damaging the fibers.
Test any cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous area of the carpet first to ensure it doesn’t cause discoloration or damage.
For tough stains, mix a solution of warm water and mild dish soap, then gently blot the area with a sponge.
After cleaning, use a dry towel to absorb excess moisture and allow the carpet to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
